Slip of the tongue

[Sista]

Inshallah, mekteb, lyoune...do you find these and other expressions make there way into your conversations when your not conversing in Arabic, or not even talking to an arab?

[Khalidz]

Yep lol, esp Inshallah...

[_nadia_]

Yep...inshallah, alhamdullah....sometimes if I'm speaking to a non Arab I'll catch myself just before I let slip and will try and say the English equivalent, but more often than not I forget Those non Arabs around me the most have just gotten used to it really

[Anisa]

Words like Salee-ing (praying), khouss-ling (washing) saum-ing(fasting) I hear a lot of Moroccans talking like that

I always use Insha'Allah, heck even my non Arab friends do it now!

Salam guys and girls

Hope your all well

I think inshallah has got to have the highest record for me, always saying it. Ditto, nadia with trying to catch it before it slips, theres often a quite pause for a second or two

I know khalid is proficent in Arabic but how is it for the rest? Can you speak fluent, crossing all subjects and conversation types or is it mainly day to day conversation?

I don't speak Arabic, so it's just the odd Islamic term that slips out

When I was a kid i used to go to Koranic schools and hated Arabic and ended up speaking fluent french nstead(i forgot it now) but now I understand what Allah(SWT) means when he says there are things you don't like that are good for you and only if you knew. And I thank him for that bounty I am now able to read the Quran with ease and managed once to earn quite a lot of money in one of my Arabic countracting job.
